According to Savita Subramanian…
It’s a great time to buy value stocks.
She said in a new note this week that the valuation extremes could increase volatility in 2024, creating “abundant mean reversion alpha” opportunity.
Or in simpler terms…
Very cheap stocks could play catch-up and pay investors who buy early.
She selected 34 buy-rated stocks that are also cheaper than at least 75% of the names in their sectors – based on 3 valuation metrics:
- The 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio
- The 12-month trailing price-to-earnings ratio
- The enterprise value-to-earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization
Here’s her top 34 picks:
- APA Corporation (APA)
- Bunge Global (BG)
- Builders FirstSource (BLDR)
- BorgWarner (BWA)
- Caterpillar (CAT)
- CF Industries Holdings (CF)
- Cigna Group (CI)
- CVS Health (CVS)
- Delta Air Lines (DAL)
- Quest Diagnostics (DGX)
- D.R. Horton (DHI)
- Everest Group (EG)
- Elevance Health (ELV)
- Entergy (ETR)
- Ford Motor Company (F)
- FedEx (FDX)
- Gen Digital (GEN)
- Gilead Sciences (GILD)
- General Motors (GM)
- HP (HPQ)
- Host Hotels & Resorts (HST)
- Jabil (JBL)
- Kraft Heinz (KHC)
- Kimco Realty (KIM)
- Mosaic (MOS)

- QUALCOMM (QCOM)
- Simon Property Group (SPG)
- AT&T (T)
- Tapestry (TPR)

- Universal Health Services (UHS)
- United Rentals (URI)
Now, these could be great picks for 2024.
But nobody has a crystal ball and it’s difficult to predict what will happen in 2024.
Yours in Wealth,
